【Example】
Examples of the present invention will be specifically described below.
[0012]
FIG. 1 is a front view showing a scrambled egg manufacturing apparatus according to the present embodiment. This scrambled egg manufacturing apparatus includes a liquid egg pipe 1, a heated gas pipe 2, a molded pipe 3, and a joint 4 for connecting these pipes.
[0013]
A liquid egg storage device (not shown) is provided at the inlet of the liquid egg piping 1, and the liquid egg stored in the liquid egg storage device is supplied to the liquid egg piping 1. The liquid egg storage device (not shown) is provided with an automatic liquid egg supply device (not shown) so that the liquid egg is continuously supplied so that the liquid egg storage device does not become empty. ing. The liquid egg pipe 1 is connected to the connecting portion 4a of the joint 4 with the axis centered in the vertical direction, and discharges the liquid egg fed through the inside from the outlet 1a. The discharged liquid egg falls.
[0014]
The heated gas pipe 2 has an axial center in the horizontal direction and has an outlet side connected to the connecting portion 4b of the joint 4. A heated gas, for example, steam of 110 ° C. or higher and 140 ° C. or lower is supplied from the inlet side. The supplied steam is ejected from a nozzle 2a as a heated gas ejection port, the proximal end portion of which is fixed to the outlet portion of the heated gas pipe 2 via a fixture 2b, and the distal end portion is disposed inside the joint 4. The The nozzle 2a has an inner diameter of, for example, 1 mmφ or more and 5 mmφ or less, and is provided toward the liquid egg that has exited from the outlet 1a of the liquid egg pipe 1, and blows off the liquid egg. Thereby, a liquid egg is disperse | distributed to a liquid egg drop. When the inner diameter of the liquid egg pipe 1 is large, a funnel-shaped reduced diameter pipe or the like that becomes narrower as the inner diameter becomes closer to the joint 4 may be provided at the outlet 1a.
[0015]
The molded pipe 3 is made of, for example, a sanitary pipe, and its inlet side is connected to the connecting portion 4c of the joint 4 with its axis aligned with the axis of the heated gas pipe 2, and is ejected from the nozzle 2a. The liquid egg drop is guided and cooled to form a scrambled egg with the pressure of the steam, and the scrambled egg is discharged to the outside. A bent pipe 3a, which is a part of the molded pipe 3, is provided at the outlet of the molded pipe 3 so that the scrambled egg is dropped at a predetermined location.
[0016]
The operation contents in the scrambled egg manufacturing apparatus of the present embodiment will be described. First, in a liquid egg storage device (not shown) for supplying a liquid egg to the liquid egg pipe 1, the liquid egg stored therein is adjusted to a predetermined temperature, for example, in a range of 50 ° C to 65 ° C. Moreover, the steam which adjusted the pressure to the range of 1 kg / c or more and 3 kg / c or less, for example is supplied to the heating gas piping 2. FIG.
[0017]
When this preparation is completed, the liquid egg is supplied from the liquid egg storage device (not shown) to the liquid egg piping 1. Then, the liquid egg is sent through the liquid egg piping 1 and falls from its outlet 1a. On the other hand, the steam as the heated gas sent through the heated gas pipe 2 is ejected toward the falling liquid egg. The ejected steam blows off the liquid egg to form a liquid egg drop.
[0018]
The liquid egg drop is guided by the forming pipe 3 and cooled to become a scrambled egg. At this time, if the length of the molded pipe 3, that is, the dimension from the joint 4 side inlet of the molded pipe 3 to the outlet of the curved pipe 3 a is short, the scrambled eggs are not formed and adjacent liquid egg drops are attached. Become. Conversely, if longer, ing a state not extruded scrambled eggs is solidified in the course of molding the pipe 3. For this reason, the length of the formed pipe 3 is preferably 200 mm or more and 1000 mm or less.
[0019]
The scrambled eggs thus manufactured are discharged from the outlet of the bent pipe 3a. The bent pipe 3a may be omitted. Moreover, it is preferable to provide a belt conveyor below the outlet of the curved pipe 3a so that continuous carry-out processing is possible. In place of the belt conveyor, a batch type may be adopted, but a method of exchanging the trays may be employed.
[0020]
The reason why the liquid egg pipe 1, the heated gas pipe 2 and the molded pipe 3 are all connected by the joint 4 as in the above embodiment is to prevent the integrity of the structure from being impaired. is there. Further, although the heating gas pipe 2 and the molding pipe 3 have the same axis, they need not necessarily be the same if the liquid egg drop can be guided through the molding pipe 3 without hindrance. Further, the axis of the liquid egg pipe 1 is set to be orthogonal to the axis of the heated gas pipe 2 and the molded pipe 3, but the dropping position of the liquid egg from the liquid egg pipe 1 is the heated gas pipe 2. The liquid egg pipe 1 may be inclined with respect to the heated gas pipe 2 or the molded pipe 3 as long as the liquid egg pipe 1 exists on the axis of the molded pipe 3.
[0021]
In the above embodiment, the joint 4 is used. However, the present invention is not necessarily required in this manner, and the pipes 1, 2, and 3 may be separated without using the joint 4. As an example of the configuration, for example, the inlet of the molding pipe 3 is formed in a tray shape, the outlet of the liquid egg pipe 1 is disposed above the tray-shaped inlet, and the liquid egg pipe 1 drops onto the tray-shaped inlet. It is good also as a structure which made the inlet of the shaping | molding piping 3 enlarged in the trumpet shape so that it might be easy to receive a liquid egg drop while providing the spout of the heated gas piping 2 toward the liquid egg part to perform.
[0022]
Moreover, in the said Example, although steam is used for the heating gas sent through the heating gas piping 2, generally this can use the steam currently used in the factory of a product manufacturer etc., and manufactures a scrambled egg at low cost. This is to make it possible. However, in the present invention, not only steam but also general heated gas containing moisture can be used.
[0023]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, in the case of the present invention, when the heated gas sent through the heated gas pipe is ejected toward the liquid egg that has exited from the outlet of the liquid egg pipe, the liquid egg is blown off and the liquid egg drop Thus, it is possible to obtain a scrambled egg by guiding it with a molded pipe and cooling it. Therefore, it is possible to continuously produce a scrambled egg and to greatly improve the work efficiency.
[0024]
Also, the liquid egg piping, the heated gas piping, and the molded piping should all have the same axial center for the heated gas piping and the molded piping, and the axis of the liquid egg piping should be placed on the axis. If the configuration is such that the components communicate with each other via a joint, the integrity of the configuration can be prevented from being impaired.
[0025]
Moreover, it becomes possible to manufacture a scrambled egg at low cost by using steam generally used in a factory such as a product manufacturer for the heated gas sent through the heated gas pipe.
